Definitions
- Cas enzymes along with their associated Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) guide ribonucleic acids (RNAs) appear to be a pervasive (-45% of bacteria, -84% of archaea) component of prokaryotic immune systems, serving to protect such microorganisms against non-self nucleic acids, such as infectious viruses and plasmids by CRISPR-RNA guided nucleic acid cleavage. While the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) elements encoding CRISPR RNA elements may be relatively conserved in structure and length, their CRISPR-associated (Cas) proteins are highly diverse, containing a wide variety of nucleic acidinteracting domains.
- CRISPR Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats
- CRISPR DNA elements have been observed as early as 1987, the programmable endonuclease cleavage ability of CRISPR/Cas complexes has only been recognized relatively recently, leading to the use of recombinant CRISPR/Cas systems in diverse DNA manipulation and gene editing applications.

- CRISPR/Cas systems are RNA-directed nuclease complexes that have been described to function as an adaptive immune system in microbes.
- CRISPR/Cas systems occur in CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) operons or loci, which generally comprise two parts: (i) an array of short repetitive sequences (30-40bp) separated by equally short spacer sequences, which encode the RNA-based targeting element; and (ii) ORFs encoding the Cas encoding the nuclease polypeptide directed by the RNA-based targeting element alongside accessory proteins/enzymes.
- Efficient nuclease targeting of a particular target nucleic acid sequence generally requires both (i) complementary hybridization between the first 6-8 nucleic acids of the target (the target seed) and the crRNA guide; and (ii) the presence of a protospacer-adjacent motif (PAM) sequence within a defined vicinity of the target seed (the PAM usually being a sequence not commonly represented within the host genome).
- PAM protospacer-adjacent motif
- CRISPR-Cas systems are commonly organized into 2 classes, 5 types and 16 subtypes based on shared functional characteristics and evolutionary similarity.
- Class I CRISPR-Cas systems have large, multisubunit effector complexes, and comprise Types I, III, and IV.
- Type I CRISPR-Cas systems are considered of moderate complexity in terms of components.
- the array of RNA-targeting elements is transcribed as a long precursor crRNA (pre-crRNA) that is processed at repeat elements to liberate short, mature crRNAs that direct the nuclease complex to nucleic acid targets when they are followed by a suitable short consensus sequence called a protospacer-adjacent motif (PAM).
- PAM protospacer-adjacent motif
- This processing occurs via an endoribonuclease subunit (Cas6) of a large endonuclease complex called Cascade, which also comprises a nuclease (Cas3) protein component of the crRNA- directed nuclease complex.
- Cas I nucleases function primarily as DNA nucleases.
- Type III CRISPR systems may be characterized by the presence of a central nuclease, known as Cas 10, alongside a repeat-associated mysterious protein (RAMP) that comprises Csm or Cmr protein subunits.
- RAMP repeat-associated mysterious protein
- the mature crRNA is processed from a pre- crRNA using a Cas6-like enzyme.
- type III systems appear to target and cleave DNA-RNA duplexes (such as DNA strands being used as templates for an RNA polymerase).
- Type IV CRISPR-Cas systems possess an effector complex that consists of a highly reduced large subunit nuclease (csfl), two genes for RAMP proteins of the Cas5 (csf3) and Cas7 (csf2) groups, and, in some cases, a gene for a predicted small subunit; such systems are commonly found on endogenous plasmids.
- csfl highly reduced large subunit nuclease
- csf3 two genes for RAMP proteins of the Cas5
- csf2 Cas7
- Class II CRISPR-Cas systems generally have single-polypeptide multidomain nuclease effectors, and comprise Types II, V and VI.
- Type II CRISPR-Cas systems are considered the simplest in terms of components.
- the processing of the CRISPR array into mature crRNAs does not require the presence of a special endonuclease subunit, but rather a small trans-encoded crRNA (tracrRNA) with a region complementary to the array repeat sequence; the tracrRNA interacts with both its corresponding effector nuclease (e.g. Cas9) and the repeat sequence to form a precursor dsRNA structure, which is cleaved by endogenous RNAse III to generate a mature effector enzyme loaded with both tracrRNA and crRNA.
- Cas II nucleases are documented as DNA nucleases.
- Type 2 effectors generally exhibit a structure consisting of a RuvC-like endonuclease domain that adopts the RNase H fold with an unrelated HNH nuclease domain inserted within the folds of the RuvC-like nuclease domain.
- the RuvC-like domain is responsible for the cleavage of the target (e.g., crRNA complementary) DNA strand, while the HNH domain is responsible for cleavage of the displaced DNA strand.
- Type V CRISPR-Cas systems are characterized by a nuclease effector (e.g. Casl2) structure similar to that of Type II effectors, comprising a RuvC-like domain. Similar to Type II, most (but not all) Type V CRISPR systems use a tracrRNA to process pre-crRNAs into mature crRNAs; however, unlike Type II systems which requires RNAse III to cleave the pre-crRNA into multiple crRNAs, type V systems are capable of using the effector nuclease itself to cleave pre-crRNAs. Like Type-II CRISPR-Cas systems, Type V CRISPR-Cas systems are again documented as DNA nucleases.
- Casl2 nuclease effector
- Type II CRISPR-Cas systems Unlike Type II CRISPR-Cas systems, some Type V enzymes (e.g., Casl2a) appear to have a robust single-stranded nonspecific deoxyribonuclease activity that is activated by the first crRNA directed cleavage of a double-stranded target sequence.
- Type VI CRIPSR-Cas systems have RNA-guided RNA endonucleases. Instead of RuvC-like domains, the single polypeptide effector of Type VI systems (e.g. Casl3) comprises two HEPN ribonuclease domains.
- Type VI systems Differing from both Type II and V systems, Type VI systems also appear to, in some embodiments, not require a tracrRNA for processing of pre-crRNA into crRNA. Similar to type V systems, however, some Type VI systems (e.g., C2C2) appear to possess robust single-stranded nonspecific nuclease (ribonuclease) activity activated by the first crRNA directed cleavage of a target RNA.
- C2C2C2 nonspecific nuclease

- CRISPR Type II endonucleases utilized herein were predicted to have nuclease activity based on the presence of putative HNH and RuvC catalytic residues. In addition, structural predictions suggested residues involved in guide, target, and recognition of and interaction with a PAM. Based on the location of important residues, the predicted domain architecture of Type II CRISPR endonucleases comprised three RuvC domains, an HNH endonuclease domain, a recognition domain and PAM interacting domain, among others. For genomic sequences encoding a full-length Type II endonuclease next to a CRISPR array, we predicted tracrRNA sequences, which were engineered to be used by the nuclease as single guide RNAs.
- the PAM sequences of nucleases utilized herein were determined via expression in either an E. coli lysate-based expression system or reconstituted in vitro translation (myTXTL, Arbor Biosciences or PURExpress, New England Biolabs).

- the diameter and poly dispersity (PDI) of the LNP were determined by dynamic light scattering.
- LNP had diameters ranged from 65 nm to 120 nm with PDI of 0.05 to 0.20.
- LNP were injected intravenously into 8- to 12-week-old C57B16 wild type mice via the tail vein (0.1 mL per mouse) at a total RNA dose of 1 mg RNA per kg body weight. Eleven days post-dosing, 3 of the 5 mice in each group were sacrificed and the liver was collected and homogenized using a bead beater (Omni International) in a digestion buffer supplied in the PureLink Genomic DNA Isolation Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific).
- Genomic DNA was purified from the resulting homogenate using the PureLink Genomic DNA Isolation Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and quantified by measuring the absorbance at 260 nm. Genomic DNA purified from mice injected with buffer alone was used as a control. At 28 days post-dosing, the remaining 2 mice in each group were sacrificed and the liver was collected and homogenized using a bead beater (Omni International) in a digestion buffer supplied in the PureLink Genomic DNA Isolation Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Genomic DNA was purified from the resulting homogenate using the PureLink Genomic DNA Isolation Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and quantified by measuring the absorbance at 260 nm. Genomic DNA purified from mice injected with buffer alone was used as a control.
- a bead beater Omni International
- liver genomic DNA was then PCR amplified using a first set of primers flanking the region targeted by the two guides.
- the PCR primers used are shown below in Table 10.
- Table 10 Sequences of PCR primers and Next Generation Sequencing primers used to analyze in vivo genome editing in mice
- the 5' end of these primers comprise conserved regions complementary to the PCR primers used in the second PCR, followed by 5 Ns in order to give sequence diversity and improve MiSeq sequencing quality, and end with sequences complementary to the target region in the mouse genome.
- PCR was performed using Q5® Hot Start High-Fidelity 2X Master Mix (New England Biolabs) on 100 ng of genomic DNA and an annealing temperature of 60 °C for a total of 30 cycles. This was followed by a 2nd round of 10 cycles of PCR using primers designed to add unique dual Illumina barcodes (IDT) for next generation sequencing on a MiSeq instrument. Each sample was sequenced to a depth of greater than 10,000 reads using 150bp paired end reads. Reads were merged to generate a single 250 bp sequence from which Indel percentage and INDEL profile was calculated using a proprietary Python Script.
- Table 11 Genome editing at the HAO-1 locus by MG3-6/3-4 in the whole liver of wild type mice at day 11 post LNP dosing analyzed by next generation sequencing.
- % of indels OOF is the percentage of all the INDELS that resulted in a sequence where the HAO1 coding sequence is out of frame.
- the mean total OOF% is the average percentage of all alleles in which the HAO1 coding sequence is out of frame.
- the total number of NGS sequencing reads is given.
- mice received LNP encapsulating guide RNA mH364-7-l.
- Group 3 mice received LNP encapsulating guide RNAmH364-7-35.
- Group 4 mice received LNP encapsulating guide RNA mH364-20-l .
- Group 5 mice received LNP encapsulating guide RNAmH364-20-35. All mice in groups 2 to 5 also received LNP encapsulating the MG3-6/3-4 mRNA that was mixed with the guide RNA containing LNP at a 1 : 1 RNA mass ratio prior to injection. No INDELS were detected in the liver of mice injected with PBS buffer (see Table 11).
- mice injected with LNPs encapsulating guide 364mHA-G7-l and MG3-6/3-4 mRNA exhibited INDELS at the target site in HAO-1 at a mean frequency of 53.0 %.
- Mice injected with LNPs encapsulating guide 364mHA-G7-35 and MG3-6/3-4 mRNA exhibited INDELS at the target site in HAO-1 at a mean frequency of 23.6 %.
- Mice injected with LNPs encapsulating guide 364mHA-G20-l and MG3-6/3-4 mRNA exhibited INDELS at the target site in HAO-1 at a mean frequency of 8.9 %.
- mice injected with LNPs encapsulating guide 364mHA-G20-35 and MG3-6/3-4 mRNA exhibited indels at the target site in HAO-1 at a mean frequency of 2.5%.
- These data demonstrate that the guides with spacer 7 (364mHA-G7-l and 364mHA-G7-35) are significantly more potent in vivo than the guides with spacer 20 (364mHA-G20-l and 364mHA- G20-35) when guides with the same chemical modifications are compared. This is consistent with the higher level of editing observed with these 2 guide sequences in Hepal-6 cells by mRNA-based transfection (mH364-7 exhibited 46% INDELS and mH364-20 26% INDELS in Hepal-6 cells).
- Guide chemistry #1 resulted in higher levels of editing than chemistry #35 for both guide 7 (2.2-fold higher editing with chemistry #1) and guide 20 (3.5-fold higher editing with chemistry #1).
- sgRNA an sgRNA with a set of chemical modifications designated chemistry #1 was able to promote editing at 53% of the genomic DNA in whole liver when delivered using an LNP.
- the LNP used in these studies is taken up via binding of apolipoprotein E (apoE) to the LNP which is a ligand for binding to the low-density lipoprotein receptor (see e.g.
- the liver is composed of a number of different cell types.
- the hepatocytes make up about 52% of all cells (and 35% of hepatocytes contain two nuclei), with Kupffer cells (18%), Ito cells (8%), and endothelial cells (22%) making up the remaining cells (Histochem Cell Biol 131, 713-726 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00418-009-0577-l).
- the LNP used in the mouse studies described herein is expected to be taken up primarily by hepatocytes. Because hepatocyte nuclei make up about 60% of all nuclei in the whole liver of mice, it can be predicted that if all the hepatocyte nuclei were edited, the level of INDELS measured in the whole liver are predicted to be about 60%. The finding that LNP delivery of MG3-6/3-4 was able to achieve INDEL rates of 53% suggests that the majority of hepatocyte nuclei were edited.
- the HA01 gene encodes the protein glycolate oxidase (GO), an intracellular enzyme involved in glycolate metabolism.
- GO protein glycolate oxidase
- the level of GO protein was significantly reduced in the livers of mice treated with LNP encapsulating MG3-6/3-4 mRNA and sgRNA targeting HA01. Quantification of the Western blot using image analysis software (Biorad) and normalization of GO to the level of vinculin demonstrated that GO levels were reduced by an average of 75%, 58%, 4%, and 24% in mice treated with sgRNA mH364-7-1, mH364-7-35, mH364-20-1, and mH364-20-35, respectively. The degree of GO protein reduction correlates with the INDEL frequency in these groups of mice (see Table 11).
- MG3-6/3-4 nuclease combined with an appropriately designed sgRNA can be used to create indels in a gene of interest in vivo in a living mammal and reduce (knockdown) the production of the protein encoded by that gene. Reducing the expression of specific genes can be therapeutically beneficial in specific diseases.
- the HA01 gene that encodes the GO protein reduction of the levels of GO protein in the liver is expected to be beneficial in patients with the hereditary disease primary hyperoxaluria type I (Martin-Higueras, Mol. Ther. 24, 719-725).
- the MG3-6/3-4 nuclease, together with an appropriate sgRNA containing appropriate chemical modifications targeting the HA01 gene is a potential approach for the treatment of primary hyperoxaluria type I.
- Table 12 Sequences of MG3-6/3-4 sgRNA guide 7 targeting mouse HAO1
- mRNA encoding MG3-6/3-4 nuclease was generated by in vitro transcription of a linearized plasmid template using T7 RNA polymerase, nucleotides, and enzymes purchased from New England Biolabs or Trilink Biotechnologies.
- the DNA sequence that was transcribed into RNA comprised the following elements in order from 5' to 3': the T7 RNA polymerase promoter, a 5' untranslated region (5' UTR), a nuclear localization signal, a short linker, the coding sequence for the MG3-6/3-4 nuclease, a short linker, a nuclear localization signal, and a 3' untranslated region (SEQ ID No: 603) and an approximately 100 nucleotide polyA tail (not included in SEQ ID No: 603)
- the protein sequence encoded in the synthetic mRNA encoded in this MG3-6/3-4 cassette comprises the following elements from 5' to 3': the nuclear localization signal from SV40, a five amino acid linker (GGGS), the protein coding sequence of the MG3-6/3-4 nuclease from which the initiating methionine codon was removed, a 3 amino acid linker (SGG), and the nuclear localization signal from nucleoplasmin.
- the DNA sequence of the protein coding region of this cassette was modified to reflect the codon usage in humans using a commercially available algorithm. An approximately 100 nucleotide polyA tail was encoded in the plasmid
- the lipid nanoparticle (LNP) formulation used to deliver the MG3-6/3-4 mRNA and the guide RNA is based on LNP formulations described in the literature including Kauffman et al (Nano Lett. 2015, 15, 11, 7300-7306, https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.nanolett.5b024970).
- the four lipid components were dissolved in ethanol and mixed in an appropriate molar ratio to make the lipid working mix.
- the mRNA and the guide RNA were either mixed prior to formulation at a 1 : 1 mass ratio or formulated in separate LNP that were later co-injected into mice at a 1 : 1 mass ratio of the two RNA’s.
- the RNA was diluted in 100 mM Sodium Acetate (pH 4.0) to make the RNA working stock.
- the lipid working stock and the RNA working stock were mixed in a microfluidics device (Ignite NanoAssembler, Precision Nanosystems) at a flow rate ratio of 1 :3, respectively, and a flow rate of 12 mLs/min.
- the LNP were dialyzed against phosphate buffered saline (PBS) for 2 to 16 hours and then concentrated using Amicon spin concentrators (Milipore) until the reduced volume was achieved.
- concentration of RNA in the LNP formulation was measured using the Ribogreen reagent (Thermo Fisher).
- the diameter and polydispersity (PDI) of the LNP were determined by dynamic light scattering. Representative LNP had diameters ranged from 65 nm to 120 nm with PDI of 0.05 to 0.20.
- LNP were injected intravenously into 8- to 12-week-old C57B16 wild type mice via the tail vein (0.1 mL per mouse) at a total RNA dose of 1 mg RNA per kg body weight.
- the liver genomic DNA was then PCR amplified using a first set of primers flanking the region targeted by the two guides .
- the PCR primers used are shown in Table 10. The 5' end of these primers comprise conserved regions complementary to the PCR primers used in the second PCR, followed by 5 Ns in order to give sequence diversity and improve MiSeq sequencing quality, and end with sequences complementary to the target region in the mouse genome.
- PCR was performed using Q5® Hot Start High-Fidelity 2X Master Mix (New England Biolabs) on 100 ng of genomic DNA and an annealing temperature of 60 °C for a total of 30 cycles.
- mice injected with PBS buffer did not contain measurable INDELS at the target site for guide 7.
- the mean INDEL frequency in mice that received LNP containing guides mH364-7-l, mH364-7-35, mH364-7-42, and mH364-7-45 was 46.1%, 26.6%, 32.4%, and 32.1%, respectively, demonstrating that guide RNA chemistry #1 was the most potent followed by #42 and #45, with chemistry #35 being the least potent.
- RNA was purified from a separate lobe of the liver from the same mice described in Table 13 and used to measure level of HAO-1 mRNA by digital droplet PCR (dd-PCR).
- the PBS injected mice were used as controls and the levels of HAO-1 mRNA in the livers of edited mice were compared to these controls.
- the dd-PCR assay was designed and optimized using standard techniques. ddPCR is a highly accurate method for determining the absolute copy number of a specific nucleic acid in a complex mixture (e.g. Taylor et al Sci Rep 7, 2409 (2017).
- the total liver RNA was first converted to cDNA by reverse transcription then quantified in the dd-PCR assay using GAPDH as an internal control to normalize between samples.
- the level of HAO 1 mRNA in the individual mice treated with LNP encapsulating MG3-6/3-4 mRNA and sgRNA targeting the mouse HA01 gene was decreased, and the magnitude of decrease was correlated with the INDEL frequency.
- Table 14 HAO1 mRNA levels in the whole liver of individual mice treated with LNP encapsulating MG3-6/3-4 mRNA and guide RNA 7 targeting the HAO-1 gene with chemical modifications 42 (mH364-7-42), 45 (mH364-7-45), 1 (mH364-7-l), and 35 (mH364-7-35).
- mice in Table 10 were analyzed for mice in Table 10.
- HAO1 mRNA The largest reduction in HAO1 mRNA was seen in the group of mice treated with sgRNA mH364-7-l, while the smallest reduction of HAO-1 mRNA was observed in mice treated with sgRNA mH364-7-35.
- a reduction in HAO1 mRNA can occur when frameshift mutations are introduced into the coding sequence of a gene via a mechanism called nonsense mediated decay (Brogna et al, Nat Struct Mol Biol 16, 107-113 (2009), The observation of reduced HAO-1 mRNA in the liver of mice edited at the HAO-1 gene with MG3-6/3-4 is consistent with the presence of INDELS that result in a high rate of frame shifts as shown in Table 15.
- Table 15 Analysis of the frequency of edits that result in frame shifts in the liver of mice treated with LNP encapsulating MG3-6/3-4 mRNA and sgRNA number 7 (G7) that targets the HAO-1 gene
- the out of frame percentage was calculated by analyzing the NGS data using a custom algorithm
- the HA01 gene encodes the protein glycolate oxidase (GO) that is an intracellular enzyme involved in glycolate metabolism.
- GO protein glycolate oxidase
